S1E14: Shifting Rhythms and A Rule of Life

Welcome back to The AUSA Podcast for our final episode this season! For our last week, Brenna is joined by Luke, Parker, and Isabella for a conversation about rhythms. Everyone has rhythms, and whether you make it a point to practice them or not, they affect how you interact with God, yourself, and the world. What we do forms us into who we are, so it’s important to be mindful about those practices (again, intentional or not) that are shaping us. We talk about what rhythms we have in place, how we prioritize practicing rhythms, how we feel when those rhythms change, and how we combat the shift that comes with break.
From all of us non the Student Activities team, have such a restful break! We are grateful for all of you, and if break is particularly hard for you, know you’re not alone. The holidays can be tricky and messy for a lot of people—some of your Student Activities friends included—so we get it. You’ve got this! Finish strong on your finals and rest it up over winter break. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for listening in to a great season, and for being patient as we get this thing started. We’ll see you next semester with more episodes and more events!
